Happy birthday, Dad!

'Took this photo of "the guy at the end of the bar" in a bar in Pinos Altos a couple of weeks ago. Dad wanted the photo so I took it. The guy was not holding Dead Man's Hand, by the way. Nope. He had 4 aces.

My dad's already off on his annual bike ride. His goal, for the last few years, has been to ride his age on his birthday. That means 67 miles today. He tries to ride some extra miles each year so he can have some in the bank for when he can't reach his goal in years to come. He was just shy of his goal last year (cramps got to him, I think) but he rode 100 miles on his birthday a few years ago. Wow. I think he's got 70 miles planned for today. Go, Dad!
